Occasional Pre-Show
Just hear me out please. I have just been irritated with the IWC lately and here is why...
It all starts at the RR, the outcome of the match was decided two weeks prior when Batista returns and is a lock to win the RR (seriously, it could not have been more obvious). Everybody i knew thought he was going to win.
So fast forward 2 weeks to the actual Rumble match and people are upset when he wins? or are people upset that DB didnt come out at number 30 to win in a match he was never advertised for after already wrestling earlier in the night? Either way, that almost made me embarrassed to be associated with such hypocrisy of the IWC.
Then CM Punk leaves, and the entire (give or take a dozen people) IWC praises him for quitting on a legion of fans 2 months before Wrestlemania because he didn't get his way after being champion for over a year. How is that good for anyone but CM Punk? Is it even good for CM Punk in the long run?
Now you have a company in WWE, who has NEVER catered to it's fans just to cater to the fans, in a position to absolutely troll the entire IWC because no singular wrestler is bigger than the E. Not DB, not Punk, not even Hogan.
Spamming complaints and petitions further pushed DB out of the title picture, because fan interest, good or bad, is what fuels story lines. Again, i am aware it's not all of you, but the ones that have been flaming everywhere about him not being champion, is why he is not champion. I could easily see them doing the "authority is holding me back" story line for another 6 months BECAUSE of all the backlash. And it is genius.
Now with CM Punk, and the supposed "we are going to chant for him" movement i have seen for live shows and TV shows, all that does is make Vince McMahon less likely to ever bring back a guy that he built into a superstar because it was a slap in the face that he left in the first place. I could see him wanting to create a new CM Punk before bringing back CM Punk, just to shove into fans faces. Also genius.
In closing, complaining, petitions, crying online, etc...is doing the absolute opposite of what ever outcome is "right for fans" because whatever is best for business always trumps that. Because CM Punk is gone or DB is not champion, there will still be fans and there will still be money made. If you legitimately hate the product, stop watching. That is a much better decision than complaints.
